Beschreibung
Fasciolosis is a major global infection of livestock causing both huge losses to the agricultural community and affecting human health as a food-borne disease. Fully updated throughout, this new edition continues to cover the life cycle, biology, and development of the parasite; clinical pathology, immunology, diagnosis and vaccine development; and emergence, cause and mechanisms of drug resistance. It reviews the temperate liver fluke Fasciola hepatica, together with molecular, biochemical, control, and epidemiologial aspects of the tropical liver fluke F. gigantica. Many fundamental advances have taken place in the last two decades, but of particular importance has been the mapping of the draft genome of Fasciola. In addition, comprehensive advances in transcriptomics, proteomics and glycomics have been made, and the book therefore pays particular attention to these developments with the addition of brand-new chapters. Also covering the impact these parasites have had on the global human population, their distribution and their ecology, this book provides a comprehensive and accessible resource for scientists, researchers and students of medical and veterinary parasitology.
Rezensionen
The desktop publishing production is very high, with excellent colour figures and well-designed schematics throughout. More importantly, perhaps, each chapter comes with an extensive reference list which, if a back of the envelope calculation allows, likely cites over 2,500 source articles in total. It's very hard to identify then which literature, if any, is missing. Dipping into this alphabetical treasure trove is something I look forward to in years to come. I confidently say in years to come for I have had the first edition of Fasciolosis in my library since 1999. I have used its contents for undergraduate and postgraduate teaching and will now happily include various updates from this second edition. Both editions of Fasciolosis were expertly edited by Prof John Dalton. It is evidence enough to his academic passion for fluke. Notably, although there is a similar total number of pages in each edition, in the new edition, each chapter is now in two-column format. This change roughly equates to twice the information conveyed, which is justifiable given the last two decades of research. For example, from 2006 onwards, fasciolosis has been rebranded within the WHO'
Indeed, there is much to digest and learn a new from this expanded second edition. I expect John has had to work twice as hard to bring all this together and I am delighted that he has shared his and his co-authors'
